If you don't trust a center-right think tank with video evidence, but you're advocating for a far-left movement... you need to see more center.

I've literally seen, with my own eyes, people of this movement shut down speech on my own college campus so many times. Probably everybody I've ever known at any college (Harvard, BU, BC, Northeastern, Middlebury, UC Berkeley, NYU, Columbia, etc) has seen this first-hand. How are you denying such an obvious reality?

Through what mechanism do they "shut down speech"?

When a Nazi wants to speak on a college campus, they point out the speaker is a Nazi and the administration cancels the speaking appointment.

But not really, because administrations are fine with Nazis giving speeches. The actual reality is that 5-20 people stand near the speaking place with picket signs reading "this guy is a Nazi". The Nazi speaks as planned, and the listeners (who are also Nazis) complain the speech was shut down.

Joe Rogan called himself cancelled. Literally the biggest podcaster in the world who says anything he wants to. Complains that he can't say anything and has no audience.

It's all grift.
